Today, Notini’s lighting is especially admired for its sophisticated metalwork in copper, tin, brass, and wrought iron, combined with beautiful glass details.” Among Hoek’s favorite pieces are Notini’s 1920s table lamp designs, notable, Hoek says, “for their daring, decorative, and expressive forms that balance the elegance of Swedish Grace with subtle references to European Art Nouveau.” Among the many fine pieces by him available on Incollect are two 1920s table lamps, produced by Arvid Böhlmarks Lampfabrik, “and entirely executed in hand-hammered metal — copper for Model 6891 and tin for Model 6839—with sculptural twist stems, flared disk bases, and finely detailed collars topped with decorative caps and sculpted sphere finials,” Hoek explains. Pleated shades with silk fringes enhance their appeal. Harald Notini Top left: Hammered copper table lamp by Harald Notini, Model 6839, Böhlmarks, Sweden, 1920s. Courtesy Kabinet Hubert.
